Frank Lampard's side has no intention of meeting Dortmund's £100million asking price for Sancho after sealing a deal for Ajax's Hakim Ziyech for around £37millon on Thursday.
Former Chelsea boss Ruud Gullit believes Ziyech can still develop into a 'top player' and believes he has been played out of position by the Premier League club. 'The way Ziyech plays for Morocco, I've never seen him play for Chelsea.
Former Chelsea star Ruud Gullit still rates Ziyech highly and believes he could become a 'top player' at a club like Barcelona. Speaking on Ziggo Sport, Gullit said: 'The way Ziyech plays for Morocco, I've never seen him play for Chelsea.
Tuchel was frustrated by the inconvenience of having to play an additional half an hour, especially having already lost Hakim Ziyech, one of Chelsea's most impressive players during pre-season, to a first half injury.
Hakim Ziyech arrived first from Ajax and has been handed the no. 22 shirt. He inherits it from Christian Pulisic, who is the new no. 10. Pedro's departure has freed up the No.11 for Timo Werner, who Chelsea bought from RB Leipzig.
Chelsea have gotten a temporary replacement for injured Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech. The club's manager, Frank Lampard confirmed Tino Anjorin has been promoted into his first team set-up as a result of the injuries.
